I no longer own a .22 Hornet, but still shoot a few Hornet based rounds (.17 AH and .19 Calhoon).  I have in the past crushed a few cases when setting up my dies.  My #1 tip: loosen the stem, raise the ram onto a case until the sizing/de-priming stem is centered by case below, then tighten the center stem.  If the stem is slightly off when you cycle the press, it's crushola with those thin cases.
